Bayreuth

During my last trip to Bavaria I did not manage to see all the places that I wanted to see so I decided to return there. The first point on my list was the city of Bayreuth.

Bayreuth has around seventy thousand inhabitants and is housing several factories and a university. But it owns its worldwide reputation to the opera. Or to be more precise, to the Margravial Opera House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From the outside, it looks like any other building on the Opera Street.

Inside, it is supposed to be magnificent. Unfortunately, the Opera House undergoes reconstruction works and we cannot enter inside. A real pity. I was trying to look inside through the side windows ...

... but without success. So we will need to believe the pictures made by others.
